Mobil 1 Champion labs filters now just another FRAM OCOD
4300 miles, 10 months. 2002 5.3L V8 Yukon
I should be seeing some concern from The Fram Group about quality and checking out why I have a failure/defect. I am not. So unless I have an engine lockup there is no way to tell if the filter failed in this case except to cut it open and look.
Fram is no longer owned by Allied Signal, it was bought by privately owned New Zealand leverage buy out conglomerate Rank Group, that bought Fram, Champion Labs and Luberfiner. Champion Labs makes the Mobil 1 Filter and they are owned and warrantied by The Fram Group. I buy A Mobil 1 filter because is isn't a Fram Orange Can of Death! That's not working out.
3 separate replies clearly showing The Fram Group doesn't care about why this Mobil 1 filter was defective or failed: (Sure I can send it in on my dime, but I will keep it in case of future engine failure.)
"You are welcome to send this in, however it is our policy to deny such claims because it is stated that the filter must be unaltered and intact to be given the opportunity to evaluate the product as a whole."
